Public Safety
Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Fire Rescue and Beach Safety Department requires an agreement for the supply and delivery of medical, fire equipment and janitorial supplies for use by the Fire Rescue personnel.
The provision of emergency services by the Department requires the purchase and maintenance of medical, fire equipment and janitorial supplies vital to its operation in accordance with the Department’s State of Florida Emergency Medical License.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office (“BSO”) has established a program to allow governmental entities to purchase medical, fire equipment and janitorial supplies directly from the Sheriff at their cost without mark ups or handling fees. BSO utilizes the same Florida Regional EMS protocols as our emergency service units and BSO supplies are delivered within 24 hours.
BSO has been supplying the Department with medical, fire equipment, and janitorial supplies for many years and meets the needs of the Department. The City’s Fire Rescue and Beach Safety Department desires to continue to participate in such a program.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for the Blanket Purchase Order is available in the FY 2021 Operating Budget account numbers: 001.215101.52200.552320.000000.000.000; 001.215101.52200.546310.000000.000.000; and 001.215101.52200.552310.000000.000.000 and will be requested as part of subsequent fiscal year’s operating budget subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
